Accommodations were very good, but the service was outstanding. Elizabeth remembered my need to be out the door early without a reminder and did a number of other very thoughtful and above and beyond little things during my stay.

We had such a lovely stay here! I booked the smallest room but it was so beautifully decorated and so cozy. The entire house was beautiful and the landscape nearby was gorgeous. Elizabeth was so sweet and friendly and made us feel right at home. The homemade breakfasts were absolutely incredible! We were able to stock up on local maple syrup right across the street before we left too. I definitely hope to stay here again someday.
